This is a good, basic way to cook cabbage. Sweetened by cooking in generously salted water (believe it or not), meltingly tender and sparked with tasty vinegar and black pepper, this cabbage is good hot or at room temperature. And it holds a week in the refrigerator. Ingredients:
1 large green cabbage, halved, cored and diced into 1-inch pieces |
6 quarts boiling generously salt water |
3 tablespoons good-tasting vinegar, to taste (wine, sherry, balsamic or cider) |
black pepper, freshly ground |
salt, if desired |
Directions:
1. Drop cabbage in boiling water. Once it's back to boiling, cook 3-5 minutes, or until just tender.
2. Drain in a colander and, while still hot, toss with vinegar, generous amount of black pepper and salt to taste. Cabbage should have a pleasing tartness and a nice snap of pepper. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Good with fish, meats or poultry, especially anything grilled.
